Yup. Buy dry beans and dry rice – none of that precooked stuff. Buy fresh potatoes tho. If you can afford it, I’d also get a bag of onions, maybe carrots, and some spices that do NOT contain salt. You can also buy salt, but it is way cheaper per-gram to get salt and other spices on their own. Note that brown rice has more vitamin content than white rice (thiamine deficiency), but most white rice is enriched to compensate.
The science folks document attacks that succeed and those where the prey escapes (possibly wounded, but still not a meal). Here’s a PDF on some hawk rates – it is just a few pages from a larger work. Excerpt:
Relatively high successrates of 89 and 82% have been documented for the fish-eating Osprey (Pundion haliuetus)in Europe (Brown and Amadon
Maybe souls reincarnate anywhere into anything.
Or maybe a soul only reincarnates into related beings. In the story of the The Goat Who Saved the Priest, the goat itself had been a priest in a past life. There was a relationship to its actions in past lives and the form it took. I’ve heard versions of that story that suggest the goat had been the very priest it ‘saves’ (because souls can reincarnate in the past or future?).
Perhaps if we had intergalactic flight and our actions impacted creatures on other planets, we’d reincarnate into those creatures. Then again, perhaps we already do.

If you look, I was the person explaining that per Doctorow collective action is good. You’re replying to a post where I said, “…or even vote Z, then together the difference will matter.” Maybe you meant to reply to someon else, or maybe you’re a sock puppet that forgot to change accounts.
Given that you could be anywhere on the planet and my guess was only one country off – one with a shared border and where both are (mostly) above the 60th parallel – I am content with my guess. The growth issue explains why she doesn’t look quite like a registered Siberian, and the fact that she’s she’s shedding is just expected. Of course you know that the never ending cycle of a new winter coat is already on the way. :-)
If I may chime in, like Sundray, I am used to the author’s style, which preempts critics by acknowledging the difficulty before getting to the positive. He’s had enough people tell him ‘recycling plastic is a joke!’ to now start by saying, yes, I know, BUT you should still do it and then he’ll get to the positive. He’s not suggesting people are foolish for doing it, he’s simply letting the reader know that it ought to work better than it does and the failure is NOT on the citizenry, but on the deep pockets trying to escape blame. He wants you to know how they profit off the backs of the working class and he wants us to fight back together (and to keep recycling).
Boycotts work because boycotts are collective . That’s his point. If you get enough of society together to boycott X, or to call their government out on Y, or even vote Z, then together the difference will matter. What doesn’t matter is a bunch of people buying an item, while you are making your own private ‘boycott’. Personally, I ‘boycott’ youtube. Guess what? They don’t care. They have enough eyeballs that they don’t miss me at all.
P.S. I was happy that Paramount+ asks “why?” you cancel your subscription because I got to explain it was due to the 60 minutes settlement and firing Colbert… but I doubt they care that 1 person stopped giving them money over that.
Are y’all in Alaska? Cuz that dog is bred for sledding rather than an AKC-recognized breed. Scratch that. You said “reindeer”, so… Finland? Alaskans would call those caribou hides. Either way, the dog’s shedding pattern hints at a far north locale.
Ask, “What about the Epstein Files?” as the first volley.
Also from the UK include: Red Eye and Stags. I saw a good review for Washington Black, so I’ll try that one. If you count FX, then add Adults to the short list.
